Given all the cranky jokes about this being a city with a pizzeria on every corner, this is no small achievement.

Noise level: The sound level was building up but manageable late on a Saturday afternoon with a soccer game on TV in the front room; we could converse easily at a table in the back. (Average sound level 74dB.)
Accessibility: This old Highlands house has been capably made accessible to wheelchair users with a ramp in front providing the primary access for all, and access modifications in the rest rooms.

Noise level: A moderate crowd kept up a happy buzz, but never interfered with conversation. (Average sound level 76dB, with peaks to 83.)
Accessibility: The entrance and restrooms pose no barriers to wheelchair users, but utensils and salsa dispensers might be difficult to reach.
